Thermal Creep Deformation in Pressurized Thick-Walled Functionally Graded Rotating Spherical Shell

Abstract

Creep stresses have been analyzed for pressurized thick-walled functionally graded rotating spherical shell with thermal effects. This paper aims to investigate the creep stresses in rotating functionally graded spherical shell. Transition theory using the concept of generalized measure has been used to investigate these creep stresses in rotating shell. From the numerical discussion, it has been observed that both rotation and non-homogeneity plays significant role on thermal creep stresses.
